JINAN, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- A total of 161 ancient tombs were recently discovered in east China's Shandong Province, according to the Archaeology Institute of Jinan. The tombs span a wide range of time, from the middle and late Warring States Period (475-221 BC) to the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911), with the bulk belonging to the middle and late Warring States Period.
